Harshit Rana reveals advice from Jasprit Bumrah during IPL 2024

India’s rookie fast bowler Harshit Rana has revealed that Jasprit Bumrah told him to keep evolving his bowling skills to savor success at the top level. Rana scalped 19 wickets in 12 matches of IPL 2024 and played a key role in taking Kolkata Knight Riders to glory. 

Bumrah advised Rana to keep working hard on his skills to find success in the next season of the IPL. The lanky pacer scalped 15 wickets in 13 matches of IPL 2025 but conceded his runs at a high economy rate of 10.18.

Harshit Rana said on Ranveer Allahabadia’s YouTube Channel, “In the 2024 season, he told me that my current skills won’t help you much next year. You have to keep changing things, bring out something new every season. Otherwise, be so accurate that you are able to do what you want, like he does.”

Speaking further on Bumrah, Rana added, “He has a lot of confidence and trust in his abilities. He backs his plans and forces the batter to make mistakes. I will stick to my plans regardless of the batting. His mindset is so strong that no one can break it. T20 cricket is a different thing, but in Test cricket, it’s a big thing that he has explained to me. He has skills, he practices his Yorkers, slower balls, so many skills.”

Earlier, Rana also revealed that Bumrah guided him during the Border-Gavaskar series against England, which helped him in the Champions Trophy. Rana picked four wickets in two matches of the eight-team tournament.

Rana had told TOI, “I get a lot of benefit from working with Jassi bhai. He has a lot of experience. He always guided me on how to bowl in which format.”

“We used to talk about Test matches in Australia and also about different formats. I got a lot of benefit from that… We often discussed Test matches in Australia and also about various other formats. One thing I have picked up from him is consistency,” he added.

Harshit Rana is part of North Delhi Strikers in the ongoing Delhi Premier League.
